RNase I ribonuclease catalyzes the degradation of RNA to cyclic nucleotide monophosphate intermediates. RNase I ribonuclease is one of the few known RNases that can cleave a phosophodiester bond between any two ribonucleotides. RNase I ribonuclease may be used 1) to remove RNA from DNA preparations, 2) for RNase protection assays and 3) for mapping or quantitation of RNA by selective cleavage of single-stranded regions. RNase I is purified from a recombinant E.coli strain.
